Bigger Than My Body

E
E7 E
This is a call to the colorblind
E9
This is an IOU
E7 E
Stranded behind a horizon line
E9
Try to be something true
E
Yes, I'm grounded
D
Got my wings clipped
C#m
I'm surrounded by
Am
All this pavement
E
Guess I'll circle
D
While I'm waiting
Am
For my fuse to dry
| (Chorus:)
| C#m
| Someday I'll fly
| E A
| Someday I'll soar
| C#m
| Someday I'll be
| E A
| So damn much more
| C#m E
| Cause I'm bigger than my body
| A
| Gives me credit for
E7 E
Why is it not the time?
E9
What is there more to learn?
E7 E
I've shed this skin I've been tripping in
E9
And I've never quite returned
E
Yes, I'm grounded
D
Got my wings clipped
C#m
I'm surrounded by
Am
All this pavement
E
Guess I'll circle
D
While I'm waiting
Am
For my fuse to dry
(Chorus)
C#m E D
Cause I'm bigger than my body now
(Solo)
F G Em F G Em F
Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
F G Em F G Em F
And it might be over in a second's time
F G Em F
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name
To remember my name, oh
E
Yes, I'm grounded
D
Got my wings clipped
C#m
I'm surrounded by
Am
All this pavement
E
Guess I'll circle
D
While I'm waiting
Am
For my fuse to dry
(Chorus)
Cause I'm bigger than my body
Bigger than my body
Bigger than my body now
